On the upside, Lifehacker is much more mainstream than, say,
Sourceforge. And to be in the top five is pretty impressive. (And
lifehacker readers know that the actual polls are a bit of a joke.
They ask for 'the best' X, but it's not as if the voters have actually
tried each of the contenders.).
Anyway, this is Emacs in a pretty public limelight. I like it.
